  • Hey MMX fans, Maureen here from Meticulae Designs. I've been wanting to

  • make an animated visualization of the kinetic fingers

  • ever since Videos #82 and 83 when they were introduced and subsequently

  • disparaged. Maybe seeing them moving will help people like them better or at

  • least help them understand what Martin's going for. I've got two versions to show

  • steel and a cable mechanism which I detailed in my companion video; go check

  • Martin seemed to be headed the last time he talked about them. I think it kind of

  • looks like spider legs or maybe a typewriter. On the original machine, the

  • fingers were the marble droppers. Hopefully you can see how the design has

  • evolved for the MMX. I think it'll work well for its function of being seen from

  • far away.
